“The symbol is a material representation of
immaterial qualities and functions. It is an objectification of things
subjective in us and subliminal in nature, awakening us to a perception of the
world, which may make us aware of a knowledge contained in our soul.”

Hieroglyphic writing, that is, symbols and
images, prompt us to “think” by expanding the implications of the image, rather
than constructing an image concept based on components, such as letters
together create words. Images evoke within the viewer a whole complex of
abstract, intuitive notions or states of being—qualities, associations and
relationships which cannot be described or defined but only experienced,
similarly to the way we experience music and, of course, art.
~Robert Lawler and RA Schwaller de Lubicz
